CD-ROM: Contains Copy Of Programming Visual Basic 6.0
This title correctly contains an electronic copy of Francesco
Balena's "Programming Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0." There is no electronic copy
of "Programming Microsoft Visual Basic .NET" available at this time.
Components Setup Button On Startup Page Does Not Work
During VS.Net Professional Trial DVD setup, selecting the
Components Setup link button on the bottom of the startup page results in the
following error:
"Could not find the file:
drive:\ServerSetup.hta"
This remote component is not supported
for the trial SKU, and this error message is expected. This button should be
disregarded.
Page 177: Incorrect Array Definition
On page 177, in the
second code snippet, the number of members defined is incorrect.
Change:
' You can define up to four addresses for this person,
' from Address(0) to Address(3).
Public Address(4) as String
To:
' You can define up to four addresses for this person,
' from Address(0) to Address(3).
Public Address() as String
Page 181: InstrWholeWord Should Be InstrWord
On page 181, in the second code snippet showing Function
InstrWord, the Return statement calls the wrong function.

"Return InstrWholeWord(1, source, search,
CompareMethod.Binary)"
To:
"Return InstrWord(1, source, search,
CompareMethod.Binary)"
Page 181: InstrWholeWord Should Be InstrWord
In the IntelliSense graphic just above the final paragraph on page
181, InstrWholeWord needs to be changed to InstrWord in the "result = ..." line
and in the Intellisense box "#2 of 2# InstrWholeWord(...."
Page 916: Missing Text
Page 916 is missing text in the graphic description.
Change:
